The nuisance which the small vendors of the Boston dailies create about the steps of Memorial and the chapel, is no little matter, and their dismissal will be hailed by all as a great boon. It may be hard on the boys, but their noise and squabbles are the cause. In this as in other things the innocent must suffer with the guilty...

The windows in the dormitories had their semi-annual washing, so that it will be some weeks before the "early-rising rosy fingered dawn" will see into the college rooms and disturb the sleepers. Thanks be to the goodies for this boon. The weather during the first half of the recess was as unpleasant as cold rains and low clouds and northeast winds could make it. But on Saturday there was a decided and most agreeable change. The change, however, of course had to have some drawbacks. For while the warm...
